Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

New End Theatre, London NW3
If Sir Peter Ustinov would be at the top of most lists for the perfect after-dinner speaker, Sir Bernard Chumley would be somewhere near the bottom. An absurdly over-the-top luvvie, given to moments of outrageous abuse, Sir Bernard is the inspired creation of Matt Lucas, who is also the face and the brains behind the manic grown-up baby, George Dawes, in Shooting Stars. "Sir Bernard is an actor and raconteur," Lucas says, "like a thin Peter Ustinov, or Ned Sherrin with more hair. For the past year, he's been doing some feminist theatre which went down great with the birds. His aim is always to bring theatre to the masses."
New End Theatre, London (0171-794 0022) Wed to Fri
